THE GRANCERAS DAÑANDO CONTINUE THE RIVER NIZAO
Ecological damage on a tour of the affected
site, you will find DAILY was able to observe
the operation of dozens of excavators,
Dominicans and haitian-dominican, and several
units of throws by removing gravel and sands of
Nizao river in the full light of day without any
authority shows interest in stopping this eco
logical damage.
Excavators and truckers are undermining the same
river by extracting their burdensome and sandy
materials for the construction industry, in
which operate removed the vegetation that
protects watersheds, Cavan holes up to three and
four feet deep and several wide, undermining of
these caves both the bed of the aquifer as their
margins east and west.
July Box, agricultural technician, which manages
farms in the area cultivated maize, tomatoes and
other crops, expresses that in addition to the
ecological damage caused by the workers and
entrepreneurs that they decimate the bowels of
the rio Nizao, also put at risk of disappearing
at any moment thousands of hectares that are
dedicated to the production of agricultural
products, where there are millions in
investments in equipment, preparation of the
soil, crops, and expensive machinery", he said.
The extractions are happening on a daily basis,
"day and night," says Jose Roman, a farmer that
he says, "look here come all the days between 30
and 40 trucks and work by removing the sand more
than 40 excavators". However ensures that it is
when it enters the night them speed up the
excavations and removal of the material, "this
makes it a hell from which comes the night, a
truck leaves and another enters, my friend," he
said with anger in his words, the peasant Roman.
The site where this crime occurs is known as
ecological Yafete or mouth of the Creek, between
700 and 800 meters away toward the southern
margin of the bridge Lucas Díaz, Nizao on the
river.
Many of the complainants in this environmental
crime claim that seems to have some kind of
complicity between the predators of the river
and somebody linked to Environment, "because
every time we force them to come military units
of Environment the excavators and truckers leave
half an hour prior to the arrival of the
guards," says full of impotence, Jerónimo Pérez,
Don Gregorio.
Ecological societies, Civic and Caltural Feduca
argue the complaint. ( +) excavations DESTROYED
DRAINAGE Adriano Garcia stressed that by the
intervention of the community has been able to
stop a little drawings over the past few years,
but the miners stop and resume the process
continuously. "When you change the authorities
the extraction process is stopped, but when they
start to speak in the language that they
understand, started new excavations", he added.
They stressed that the excavations have
destroyed the natural drainage of the waters of
the river, resulting in severe floods in rainy
season that affect the agricultural development
of the area. "This practice affects the common
future of the present and future generations,
but we are prepared to fight until we click
event," said Ana Maria Ten, president of the
board of neighbors the Urca.
He said that the destruction of the trees and
the natural landscape of the river channel, has
resulted in these moments that do not have a
defined channel, and is what caused the
overflows of the last few years. |
